Chapter 270 Sandbags
Boss Zhou and his companions were afraid that the fishing net would get in the way of everyone's business, so they lowered the net into the river again.
The families who got the fish were all grinning from ear to ear, and the old man, his mother and the woman happily carried the fish home.
The remaining young people stayed where they were.
The next net will be left to them to pull.
Zhou Mingshu brought his basin back home, which contained a few small crucian carps. He went home and made fish soup.
"San Ya, look at how happy they are. They don't know which direction is which."
Zhou Mingqi followed behind her, carrying a bucket of water.
"Of course, this is free fish, and you can share several of them at once. Whoever gets them will be happy."
"Yeah, I just saw Sister Xiaodan. She was holding two big grass carps and looked very happy. She said she would come over to play sandbag throwing with us later."
"Haha, okay, jumping around is good, it keeps you warm."
Looking at the fish in the fish tank, the two people slowly poured the fish in their hands into it.
But the water tank will freeze over normally and cannot be kept for more than a few days unless the water tank is moved into the house.
"Second sister, pour out some of the water in the jar. I'll go get some river water."
"Ah? Sure."
Zhou Mingqi didn't ask why. After a moment of surprise, he agreed and then took the ladle and slowly scooped out the water.
Zhou Mingshu brought some river water in an empty bucket. Seeing that the water in the water tank was empty, the two of them worked together to move the water tank to the kitchen.
Then poured the river water into it.
"Phew~ I hope it can live a few more days. This fish won't taste good if it dies."
"Yeah, but this water is not enough. Bring a few more buckets."
"Row."
Zhou Mingjie also joined in. The three of them ran back and forth several times and finally filled the tank to 60% full.
By the time they finished their work, the second net in the river was set up.
Hearing the cheers outside, I knew there were a lot of fish in this net.
Old Mrs. Zhou did not intervene and let a group of young people in the village to butcher the fish. She was happy to have some free time.
My second grandmother and second grandfather next to them were also fish-butchering and putting the fish into their own buckets.
Look at so many fish, and the sister-in-law doesn’t come to free them. Zhou Tiezhu was so anxious that he cried out.
"Sister-in-law, come here quickly..." Zhou Tiezhu was embarrassed to shout. He pointed at the fishing net in front and asked Old Lady Zhou to get on it, but Old Lady Zhou shook her head and asked him to untie it.
The Second Mistress also gestured to her to untie it. Old Mrs. Zhou pointed at Liu and Zhu beside her and shook her head.
She didn't understand, so she asked the two children to solve it.
I left a lot of food online, enough for my family.
Let the daughter-in-law send the rest to her parents' home.
After the two nets of fish were unhooked, everyone in the village got a lot of them.
Boss Zhou collected the fishing nets and released the small fish back into the river to eat when they grew up.
After a few days of hard work, every household has fish and meat, and they are just waiting to celebrate the New Year in peace.
When Old Mrs. Zhou returned home, she saw that her granddaughter had already moved the water tank into the house. She smiled and praised them for their ability!
Seeing that there was nothing to do with the two of them, he ran out to find Wang Xiaodan to kick the sandbag, and also looked at the puppy.
Five little puppies lay in their nest, whining and trembling with the tips of their tails trembling from time to time. They looked so adorable.
Zhou Mingshu touched them and found each one was plump and had thick hair. At first glance, they looked like gas tanks.
"Sister Xiaodan, these puppies are growing really well. The big dog's milk is really good. It's made these puppies so fat."
"That's right. We have enough food this year. If we give it a bowl of food every day, it will get fat. Have you decided which one you want?"
Looking at the five puppies in front of him that looked similar, Zhou Mingshu shook his head.
It’s really hard to choose, but it’s impossible to have them all.
"You are still young, so you can't tell. Let's wait for a while."
"Okay, let's wait until they can run away. I can't even open my eyes now. Let's go play with sandbags."
Wang Xiaodan’s sandbag was sewn beautifully and filled with corn kernels. It would be quite painful if it accidentally hit your face.
Wang Dashan was chopping wood and watching the little girls running around in the yard. He also laughed happily and offered some suggestions from time to time.
"Saya, if you jump higher, then he won't hit you."
"Brother Dashan, I jumped...high enough! I'm almost dying of exhaustion..."
Zhou Mingshu thought she danced well enough and lasted long enough, but after her elder sister Zhou Mingqin came over, she felt really weak.
Wang Xiaodan shouted excitedly, "San Ya, Sister Daya can be considered my master. She taught me all these games."
"Ah? No wonder!"
Zhou Mingshu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He now felt that the down jacket he was wearing was a huge burden. It was so hot!
I feel like there is sweat in my crotch...the duck down cotton pants are also very warm...!
Seeing that the children were too hot to take off their clothes, Wang Youcai quickly stopped the game.
"Don't take off your clothes. If you feel tired or hot, just sit aside and rest for a while. Don't let your sweat show. If you catch a cold, you won't have anywhere to buy medicine."
What Uncle Youcai said made sense, so they had to unbutton two buttons to cool down.
Wang Youcai killed the fish in his hand, and his heart was filled with happiness as he saw the children in the yard being so obedient.
Thanks to the Zhou family, otherwise we wouldn’t even have any meat during the New Year this year.
"Uncle Youcai, don't throw away the fish gizzards. Wash them and cook them. They're the same as chicken gizzards and are a good side dish for drinking."
"Oh? That's great. After killing these fish, we can get a lot of fish. We can cook a dish in the evening. Haha."
What an unexpected surprise!
Zhou Mingshu smiled and felt that he was doing good deeds every day.
The girls danced for a while, and then Zhou Mingqin took them home.
"Uncle Youcai, we are home, it's time to eat."
"Okay, come and play when you have time~"
The two families waved to each other, said goodbye and returned home.
The three brothers Zhou Lao Da were not idle either. In the afternoon, they picked out a few fish that were not of good quality and killed them.
Two of the fish were cut into pieces and stewed in a pot with cabbage added. Each person was given a bowl and ate it right away. They could also drink a bowl of thick fish soup.
"Oh my god, this tastes so strong and salty, how can I not drink it?" Zhou Mingqin frowned.
"If you don't want to drink, don't drink it. You can use the leftovers to make noodles tomorrow." Mrs. Liu didn't want to force the children.
"That's a good idea, Auntie. Let's save it for making noodles tomorrow. Auntie, remember to filter out the residue. It would be bad if the noodles prick your mouth tomorrow."
"Okay, if you didn't remind me, I really wouldn't have realized it." Liu smiled, brushed the filter scoop and used it to filter.
The residue is secondary; the main thing is the fish bones inside.
It doesn’t matter if adults eat it, the key is how many children there are in the family.
The fish soup is so thick that it will turn into fish jelly by tomorrow morning, so it needs to be filtered out now.
